...but i just HAD to share that I got a 99 on my Engineering Optimization final!!!!!!! Maybe now that school is not trying to kill me anymore I can give this blog the time and attention I'd love to give it.

Grade Report:
Accounting - A
Engineering Optimization - Probably an A
Math (Adv. Linear Algebra) - Probably not an A :( (hoping for B!)
American Government - A
Intro to Fiber Enterprise - A

sa--weet!! If only I could have rocked the math final like I did for IE :( But you know what, whatever... that class is OVER!

PS - I've also been considering switching to twitter instead of blogging, since my posts are usually short anyway, and then maybe I'd update more since I wouldn't feel guilty only writing short blog entries.

Today, in my Engineering Optimization class, I sat in the front row.  This was unusual, but I was a few minutes late and there weren't any spots in the second or third row where I usually sit.  ANYWAY, that is not the point.  Also, the end of my notes from the last class only filled up half a page, so I had started taking notes halfway down for today's class.  That is important.  A few minutes after class started, I noticed that the guy next to me kept looking over at me.  Like, every other second.  After I caught him, he said "I was just copying your notes from last class because I wasn't there" 

WHAT?!

Excuse you, but I take very good notes, which I'm proud of.  You probably could have taken advantage of that pride and gotten to look at them by just asking.  But DON'T be a creeper and try to look at my notes if you were just sleeping in instead of going to the last class!!! Mad.

One thing is, I've been trying to figure out how to put this news on my blog, but I feel like there's not really a clever or humble way to say "I got a job".  For some reason, it seems like bragging to write a lot about it here, so I'll just give you a few snipits because obviously if you're interested you either already know about it or you'll ask me in person/phone/some venue where I can actually reply   I'll be working for Walt Disney  World's Labor Forecasting and Workload Team as an intern this January through May.  The office is backstage at Hollywood Studios next to Tower of Terror, and the guy I'm working for seems really cool.  Other than that, the offer was really good, and even though it's scary to be away for so long all by myself, I'm pretty excited because Disney has always been a thing I've wanted.

Anyway, yay for that and happy fall break too!

PS- My plans to be "discovered" and then recruited to be Belle still stand.  My passion for Industrial Engineering will never overcome that dream!

  Just to check in... my tests this week are going alright.  I ended up doing really well on my American Government test which was last Thursday, so that's really exciting!  Also, yesterday's Engineering Optimization Quiz I think went really well, too.  But linear algebra got me this morning. yuck.  I'm really trying to not be sad about it, because we get to drop our lowest quiz score, but it's kind of a bummer.  There were five questions, and I think I got four right, but the one I didn't was just stupid.  I was kind of at the tip of my tongue to understand and get it right, but then the professor called time, and instead of finishing my thought process quickly, I just wrote down something stupid.  frustrating. 

It was Amanda's birthday yesterday which was SO FUN and exciting! I love birthdays! :)  I got her some flowers and made her a "A" to put on her wall... and also the last part is still a secret! But a really exciting one! :)  She and I are also going to watch Hairspray one night this week, and I'm so excited about it.  I've been singing all the songs in my head all week, and also, it feels like forever since I've gotten to hang out with her.  It's really funny how that happens when you live with someone.

AND also in exciting news: We (mostly David and Amanda) finished the Mickey part of my puzzle, which means we've only got the blue background left to figure out! We're getting so close!! :D  YAY!

And lastly, last night I got to hang out with Timmy and T and Zack and Sam and it had been WAY too long.  I love those guys. :) Yay for high school friend reunions and them still loving me!

More soon!
